If you’re looking to head out on the highway, you’ll want strong and tough engineering under the hood to let you merge seamlessly and conquer the open road.
The Honda Accord has a standard 1.5L 4-cylinder engine that puts out 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. This is reliable power that will get you where you need to be. Of course, if you’re looking for more of a punch, you’ll have to upgrade to the top trim level, which offers as much as 252 HP.
Drivers looking to feel the roar of a stronger engine will enjoy the Kia K5. The available 2.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine generates a truly remarkable 290 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. This power is harnessed by the available 8-speed dual clutch automatic transmission—something not available in the Honda Accord. A sporty drive is waiting for you in the Kia K5.
As you hit the road for a trip to the city, there’s something special about turning heads on the street. Having a sharp and sleek design that’s complemented by a glossy paint job lets you express yourself however you choose.
The 2021 Honda Accord offers a standard and sturdy frame. The 111.4-inch wheelbase gives it a fairly imposing presence on the road. Its possible colors will serve you well.
Drivers looking to make a bolder statement out on the road will crave more, however.
The Kia K5 lets you make a dramatic entrance when you round the corner. Its sharp and accented angles make it an athletic marvel to look it. This Kia sedan has a futuristic and dominating aura about it. The 112.2-inch wheelbase makes a grander statement and draws attention from your peers on the road.
You’ll also have one of up to seven bold color options to choose from.
Remember that “dominating” K5 aura we mentioned? Well, like any pack leader, the dominant K5 doesn’t stand down when the going gets tough—or when the weather is uncooperative.
In rain, sleet, or snow, you’ll have available traction-enhancing AWD (All-Weather Drive) to keep your K5 safely on course! Such a feature balances power between all four wheels, so you have on-demand wheel grip when and where it’s most needed. Talk about peace of mind!
While the 2021 Accord has traction-control features, it instead relies on a 2-wheel drivetrain. On dry surfaces it’s sure to maintain grip, but you may not have such stalwart mobility when things get wet (or icy!).
